NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 HUGH YANCY

Today on the blog, yet another "not so missing" card for former Chicago White Sox infielder Hugh Yancy, who made his Big League debut in 1972, appearing in three games:

 
For Yancy, those three games would be (tied) for a career high, as he would appear in three, one (1974) and three games (1976) in his brief Major League career.
I also created "not so missing" cards for the other two seasons he appeared in the Majors, so this card today closes out his career as far as cardboard is concerned.
He appeared in three games for Chicago during the 1976 season, going 1-for-10 at the plate while playing some second base, the last action he'd have in a Big League uniform.
For Yancy and his career, as I mentioned earlier he saw three games in 1972 and just one game in 1974, giving him a career total of seven games played, with two hits over 19 at-bats for a .105 batting average.
He would go on to play in the Minor Leagues through the 1979 season but never make it back to a Major League game.
